  26 /*  FUNCTION
  27         Wait for a character to arrive at a filehandle. The filehandle
  28         can be either a console handle, or a regular file. For a regular
  29         file most filesystems will return a character immediately, but
  30         sometimes (for example a network handler) the character may not
  31         have arrived.
  32
  33     INPUTS
  34         file            - File to wait for a character on.
  35         timeout         - Number of microseconds to wait for the character
  36                           to arrive. A value of 0 says to wait indefinately.
  37     RESULT
  38         != 0    if a character arrived before the timeout expired
  39         == 0    if no character arrived
  40
  41     NOTES
  42         Many filesystems do not implement this function.
